LAWRENCE BARNETT is soon to have in
one OF the magazines paper on the
whole Shakespeare Bacon question, bat
ignoring Ignatius Donnelly altogethers.
This is very cruel, and moreover, it de-
priyes Mr.. Barretts article of about all
the interest that attaches to the subject.
Mr.. Donnellys ridiculous cipher adds a
blessed element of fun Go one of the most
absurd and tedious discussions ever in
6icted on the reading public.
Gov. HILL's appointment of two women
on the board of management of the state
insane asylum at Buffalo is generally
commended by the New York press. Wo-
men have for some years been members

wherever women are inmates of an ipsti-
tuition, their own sex shall aid in naHag-

lily begun to lower local rates within the
state from % to 40 per cent. This is one
of the indirect results OF the interstate

traffic within state boundaries Three
or four months ago the same railroads

would be ruinous to lower their rates to
the level of the interstate rates. After a
fair trial they have found it ruinous to
maintain excessive local charges, which
were discouraging this sort of traffic and
diverting jobLing to outside points.
A SOCIETY has been organized in Eng
land TO encourage the emigration of
"needy gentlewomen" to California, where
they may seek employment rs domestics.
The London papers contain q protest
against the scheme from an English wo-
man living at San Francisco, whore she
says "morals are loose, virtue is derided,
and good conduct not esteemed. Most of
the reputed rich classes were servant
girls at one time and the men miners who
at last struck it rich.' | would rather
SEQ a girl of mine dead than be here In
any domestic service"
NorurSo can exceed the gentleness and

market conspirators who plotted an in

striving to benefit others"
NUMEROUS railroads in the East and
West have been experimenting of late
With various appliances in the way of car
heating apparatus, With view to the ab.
clifton of the deadly car-stove. The gen
eral result of the experiments appears tC
Justify the expectation that all railroad
trains VIII shortly be heated by steam
The step, if taken, will have been made
none too soon. The old-fashjoued car
stove, besides being an atrocity to tn
eye, is relic of barbarism, and quite for
